CONTROL
1- PURPOSE
1.1. This procedure covers all activities within IDC activities, including
contractor’s personnel working for IDC. Contractors with their own HSE
arrangements must also comply with this procedure as a minimum.It
follows the general principles of international management systems.
1.2. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that all staff in IDC operations
or offices are aware of, and understand, the importance of their
responsibilities for hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control
with respect to health, safety and environmental Aspects & Impacts
management.
1.3. Effective risk control will enable IDC to minimise the frequency and
severity of accidents/incidents and ill health, and minimise the
environmental impact of its activities.
1.4. The objectives of this procedure are:
1.4.1. To provide a consistent approach to HSE hazard and risk

management throughout all activities of the Company in order to
minimise HSE risks;
1.4.2. To provide a structured process for HSE risk screening, assessment
and control.
1.5. This procedure is also developed to meet the requirements of HSE

Legislation for ISO 14001:2004 & OHSAS 18001:2007.
2. SCOPE
2.1. This procedure covers all IDC operations, including activities in
offices, warehouse premises and in the Rig (s). As these operations
will have differing organisational structures, it is necessary to use
generic terms for the personnel having responsibilities for risk
screening and assessment. In order to provide clarity, these generic
terms are defined below with examples.
2.2. Further guidance may be obtained from the HSE commission if
required. In certain locations, all of the levels of supervision
described in this procedure may not be in place and the same person
may, therefore, have more than one set of responsibilities.
2.3. All personnel are responsible for working with due regard to health,
safety and the environment, especially those with responsibility for
others, e.g.

CONTROL
Line Supervisor: The immediate supervisor of the person(s) who will

perform the activities for which the risk screening
and assessment is being conducted.
Line Manager: The manager of the department where the risks of

the activity are being screened and assessed
example, drilling operations manger, maintenance
manager, transportation, general services and
medical.
General Manager: The manager of the relevant Division for the

activities being considered example, operations,
HSE, maintenance, contracts and administration.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1. General
Hazard: Something with the potential to cause harm,

loss or environmental impact, whether by
injury, illness or damage.
Probability: The likelihood of a hazard being realized.
Hazard Effect: The extent of the consequences (severity),

which could result from the hazard being
realized.
Risk: Risk is the product of the probability and the

hazard effect.
Significant: Indicates that a hazard or risk is anything

other than trivial.
Significant Risk: One which requires some form of positive

safeguard or control measure to eliminate, or
reduce it to an acceptable level;
Control Measure: A precautionary measure, which prevents or

reduces a risk. Control Measures can
include physical, procedural, and human
systems.

6. PROCEDURE
6.1. FORMULATING THE TEAM
6.1.1. High Level Risk Assessment
6.1.1.1. High Level Risk Assessment should be conducted for all

departmental major activities e.g. rig move , mast raising or
lowering ,equipment modifications, coil tube , perforation testing
high pressure equipment etc., require a separate risk screening
exercise prior to the initiation. The operations Manager in
conjunction with HSE Manager should plan the exercise by
splitting the job into discrete sub-activities and identifying the
required expertise in the team, which will be doing the
assessment.

CONTROL
6.1.1.2. In general, these high level risk assessment teams should be

led by the Department manager and include line manager and
rig manger of the proposed activity along with a member of the
HSE Dept. and any other expertise that is thought necessary.
6.1.2. Task Related Risk Assessment
6.1.2.1. Task related risk assessments include specific activities e.g

scaffold erection, material handling, loading/offloading,
transportation etc,. The rig manager in this case should
formulate a team led by the supervisor of the specific activity
and including a member of the HSE Dept. along with anybody
specific to the task if deemed necessary.
6.2. RISK SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT PROCESS

6.2.1. Risks/Aspect arise from the interaction of people, equipment,
materials and the work environment. The intent of the risk/Aspect
screening and assessment process is to systematically identify the
hazards, their probability of occurrence and their potential
consequences, screen and assess the risks, develop and
implement control measures, which minimise the risk, and record
the findings of the process.
6.2.2. The Risk Screening and Assessment process consists of five
essential steps.
6.2.2.1. Identify the Hazards/Aspects
6.2.2.2. Evaluate the Risk/Impact
6.2.2.3. Analyse the Risk/Impact
6.2.2.4. Reduce/Control the Risk/Impact
6.2.2.5. Record and Review
6.2.3. The process addresses three fundamental questions:

(a) What can go wrong and how often?
i.e. Identify the hazards and the likelihood of occurrence.
(b) What would happen if something did go wrong?
i.e. Identify the consequences.
The product of the answer to these first two questions establishes the initial
potential risk/impact from the activity.
(c) What can be done to prevent or minimise this risk/Impact?

i.e. Identify and implement the control measures needed.
Each step of the assessment process should be completed before going onto
the next.

CONTROL
6.3.Identify the Hazards/Aspects
This is the starting point for the risk/Aspect assessment and requires
consideration of all the tasks that are likely to be carried out.
In order to assess the risks/impacts associated with the tasks, a manageable

level of detail is required and this may require the task to be broken down into
discrete steps.
6.3.1. Definition of Tasks
Each task should be identified in terms of:
6.3.1.1. Activities
6.3.1.2. Use of equipment
6.3.1.3. Use of materials/substances
6.3.1.4. Workplace
This should help to build up, in time, an inventory of tasks that Departments
conduct and the type of work carried out in the different workplace areas.
6.3.2. Record the Hazards
6.3.2.1. Once all the tasks have been identified, an inventory

should be drawn up, which lists all the tasks carried out in
each workplace area. These tasks may be considered as
routine, non-routine or generic, and should be fed forward
for risk assessment.
6.3.2.2. To ensure that all hazards /Aspects are identified at this

stage, typical risk screening key words are given in
Appendix 1 and hazard/Aspects identification checklist
tables are provided for guidance in Appendix 2. The
checklists given are not exhaustive and should be
updated each time a new hazard is identified.
6.3.2.3. Look for what could reasonably be expected to cause

harm. Ignore the trivial and concentrate on significant
hazards, which could result in serious harm or affect
several people. Manufacturer instructions and material
data sheets can help put risks in perspective.
6.3.3. Evaluate the Risks
6.3.3.1. Decide who may be harmed and how. Think also about people
who may not be at the work place at the time, e.g. cleaners,

CONTROL
visitors, contractors, and members of the public, etc. Is there any

chance that they might be harmed by the activities?
6.3.3.2. Consider the probability of realization of the hazards. Typical

factors which may affect the analysis of probability include:
6.3.3.2.1. The number of times the situation occurs;

6.3.3.2.2. Duration of exposure;
6.3.3.2.3. Quantities of materials involved;
6.3.3.2.4. Environmental conditions, e.g. lighting, temperature;
6.3.3.2.5. Competence of people involved;
6.3.3.2.6. Condition of equipment.
6.3.3.3. Estimate the hazard/Aspect effects, i.e. the consequence of the

risks arising from the hazards. The assessed severity rating of
the hazard effects, with or without any control measures in place,
should be entered on the Risk Assessment form as a number
using the Consequence (Severity) Rating Guidance shown in
Table 1.
6.3.3.4. Severity ratings for environment and asset damage are also
shown for completeness.
6.3.3.5. Consider whether existing precautions are adequate or more
should be done.
6.4. Analyse the Risks
6.4.1. Analyse the initial Risk Rating (Risk Rating With Existing Control
Measures) by multiplying the consequence number by the likelihood
number, to provide a risk rating (or ranking) for each hazard. This
number, on a scale of 4 to 100, should be entered in the Risk/impact
column on the Risk Assessment Form (Appendix 6).
6.4.2. The numbers in the Risk/impact column provide an indication of

priority and of the extent of the risk without any specific control
measures.
6.4.3. The objective of this process is not to arrive at a certain number but
to provide a systematic method of ensuring that consequence and
likelihood ratings are analysed carefully and a record made of the
analysis for future reference and review.
6.4.4. The next step is to consider the existing control measures and
additional control measures needed to control, reduce and minimise
the risk for each identified hazard.
6.4.5. The preferred hierarchy for the control measures is described in

Section 5.4 below.

CONTROL
6.4.6. The control measures may address the consequence, the likelihood
or both. The required control measures for each hazard should be
recorded alongside each hazard on the Risk Assessment Form.
Appendix 2 provides guidance on the type of control measures that
can be employed for the various hazards.
6.4.7. Residual Risk – to assess the residual risk that remains with the
control measures in place, new hazard effect (consequence) and
likelihood ratings are selected from the scales shown in Tables 2 and
3, respectively, with the inclusion of the control measures. The
product of these two ratings provides a measure of the Residual Risk
and completes the risk analysis stage. The information provided in
the Residual Risk box is used in the next stage of the risk/impact
assessment to evaluate whether the risk is adequately controlled or
not.
6.4.8. Risk/impact Evaluation - this is the final step in the risk assessment
process and will require the assessor to decide if the hazards
identified have been controlled to a suitable level. The risk analysis
stage took into account the control measures currently applied to the
hazard and, therefore, the result of the analysis indicates the amount
of risk that remains, or the residual risk. From this analysis, the risk
matrix shown below in Table 3 indicates whether the residual risk of
each hazard is:
6.4.8.1. Trivial - (T)

6.4.8.2. Adequately controlled - (A)
6.4.8.3. Moderately controlled - (M)
6.4.8.4. Intolerable – (I)
6.4.9. Record the results in the final (right hand) column of the Risk
Assessment forms (IDCHSEF1.1) & Environmental impact
Assessment form(IDCHSEF1.2).
6.4.10. This risk rating assessment will assist in deciding priorities for
action and in deciding the authorisation levels for the work
commensurate with the risk.
6.4.11. In general, high risks may require the provision of considerable

additional resources involving special equipment, training, high
levels of supervision, and consideration of the most effective
methods of eliminating or controlling hazards.
6.4.12. Some situations may require special consideration, including:

6.4.12.1. if the task is new, complex or unfamiliar
6.4.12.2. if the task is unusual or occasional
6.4.12.3. if it is impractical to comply with normal industry standards

CONTROL
6.4.12.4. if previously used safeguards are not appropriate for this activity
6.4.13. There may be a need to consider alternative engineering

solutions to eliminate the risk from the task, if no suitable
combination of control measures can be found, which would
reduce risks to an acceptable level.
6.4.14. Lower level risks may be considered as acceptable but actions
should still be taken to try to reduce these risks further if possible
within reasonable limits.
6.5. Reduce / Control Risk

Use the following hierarchy to reduce risks to acceptable levels:
6.5.1. Elimination or Substitution

Eliminate the hazard; e.g. use of lifting equipment instead of manual
handling
6.5.2. Hazard Reduction

Reduce the hazard with an alternative; e.g. use low impact type of
chemicals instead of high impact ( toxic or allergic chemicals
6.5.3. Segregation
Isolate the hazard from people; e.g. fencing of excavations, machine
guards.
6.5.4. Control
Control the hazard by introducing suitable measures, which may be in
either or both of the following two categories;
6.5.4.1. Personal controls - competence based (e.g. well

trained staff)
6.5.4.2. Organisational controls - rule based (e.g. adherence to
work procedures)
6.5.5. Controls should be introduced using the following preferred

sequence:
(a) Procedures, such as permit to work, emergency response,

etc.
(b) training and instruction
(c) supervision
(d) maintenance
6.5.6. Mitigation
Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary, e.g. hard
hats, boots, gloves, harnesses to prevent falls from height, etc.
Typical control measures are provided in Appendix 3.

CONTROL
6.5.7. When considering what control measures are already provided or

need to be provided, to control or reduce the risk/impact , the risk
assessor must take into account the possibility of control measures
not being implemented because of human error, lack of
maintenance, difficulty in compliance, complexity of instructions,
etc.
6.5.8. It is essential to discover how the task is actually carried out and
base the assessment on this, rather than assessing the likelihood on
how the task is supposed to be carried out.
6.6. Record the Findings
6.6.1. For each of the more significant hazards identified, e.g. fire, electric
shock, etc, write down the control measures to be used to manage
the risk from the hazard, e.g. for fire, controls including evacuation
and emergency response procedures, fire extinguishers, etc.
6.6.2. Once the risk/ impact assessments have been completed, a Work
Plan should be prepared for the more complex activities. A sample
plan is indicated in Appendix 5.
6.7. Monitor and Review
If there is any significant change to the hazards or consequences, the

risk assessments should be revised and the database updated. Risk/
Aspect assessments registers should be reviewed annually.

Note that the use of numbers for consequence rating from the above scale
does not make the risk assessment quantitative. It merely provides a
shorthand way of recording the judgement of consequence (severity) and the
priority for control measures. The person carrying out the risk assessment
should not become too obsessed with the figures; part of the purpose of the
risk assessment is to identify the control measures that need to be
implemented. These figures are designed to assist with the prioritisation of
such measures.

CONTROL
TABLE 2 - LIKELIHOOD RATING GUIDANCE
Table 2 Likelihood
Likelihood Rating Guidance Rating
Imminent or Acute
Harm from a hazard is imminent or acute if no control measures are
provided at all and/or if one or more of the following factors also apply:-
a) The hazard is a cause of large numbers of injuries or ill health in
national or location statistics;
b) People are exposed to the hazard continuously; 10
c) The hazard is difficult to see e.g. H2S gas;
d) Health, Safety and Environment is not considered high priority by
those involved, including manager and supervisors, e.g. non-adherence to
PTW.
Very Likely
Harm is very likely if the control measures provided depend on an individual
using them on every occasion (e.g. personal protective equipment, PTW 8
system) or if training and supervision are minimal, and/or if one or more of
the above factors are present.
Likely
Harm is likely if the control measures provided depend on an individual
using them or adjusting them on every occasion (e.g. portable gas 6
detectors, safe working procedures), or if training is provided and work
supervised, and/or if any of the factors given for certain or imminent harm
also apply.
Possible
Harm may happen if control measures include measures that do not
depend on the operator but can break down or be removed or defeated
(e.g. pressure safety valve), or if there is no defined system of maintenance 4
or supervision of the control measures. The hazard is a potentially
significant cause of injury or ill health, or for which a number of people are
often exposed.
Unlikely
The circumstances under which harm may happen will reduce to harm
being unlikely if there is a defined system of supervision and maintenance,
and/or if training is provided and repeated regularly. Other factors making 2
harm unlikely include hazards, which are a cause of few injuries or cases of
ill health, or for which a few people are occasionally exposed.

CONTROL
APPENDIX 3 CONTROL MEASURES GUIDANCE
Control measures should be applied as described in Section 5.4, using the

hierarchy:
Elimination or Substitution
Eliminate the hazard; e.g. use of sodium hypochlorite solution instead of
free chlorine gas for disinfectant purposes.
Hazard Reduction
Reduce the hazard with an alternative; e.g. use flame retardant scaffold
boards where hot work may be taking place.
Segregation
Isolate the hazard from people; e.g. machine guards.
Control
Control the hazard by introducing suitable measures, which may be in
either or both of the following two categories;
Personal controls - competence based (e.g. well trained staff)

Organisational controls - rule based (e.g. adherence to work
procedures)
Controls should be introduced using the following preferred sequence:
(a) procedures, such as permit to work, emergency response, etc.

(b) training and instruction
(c) supervision
(d) maintenance
Mitigation
Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary, e.g. hard
hats, boots, gloves, harnesses to prevent falls from height, etc.
The following tables describe typical control measures and are not
exhaustive.
